Style Guide

From SCADApedia

Jump to: navigation, search

The SCADApedia follows standard American English spelling and grammar as well as these style guidelines:

  • Links within a SCADApedia entry should be limited to other SCADApedia entries. Add an External Links section at the end of the entry and place relevant external links in this section.
  • SCADApedia follows the punctuation guidance in Lynn Truss's book Eat, Shoots & Leaves. So SCADApedia entries use PLC's not PLCs, and the use of final comma in a list is at the author's discretion and should be based on clarity and readability.
  • SCADApedia follows the usage based spelling guidance in William Friedman's and Lambros Callimahos's groundbreaking Military Cryptanalytics series first published as a classified text in 1956. Terms such as cipher text, plain text and clear text are spelled as two words when used as a noun and as one word when used as an adjective or adverb. For example, a plaintext message consists of plain text.
